Common Problems and Troubleshooting

Problem Possible SolutionAlarm sounds, but display is dark or too light Try adjusting the display contrast. See start guide

Display only shows “OFF” Channel recently re-configured. Select channel and use green arrow keys to turn channel back on. See start guide.

Alarm 230: Valve full open channel 1 Land Manager has driven the control valve fully open to try to achieve the application rate you desire. Check the following:1. Slow down. You may be travelling too fast to achieve the rate.2. The hydraulic system is not delivering enough fluid or pressure.3. Your hydraulic filters are blocked.4. Your bed drive motor/gearbox is not functioning.5. The application rate sensor is not turning (bed compaction, loose coupling, bad connection)6. The valve driver module is damaged or disconnected.Try to isolate a hydraulic problem from an electronic problem by manually adjusting the hydraulic control valve and checking for bed movement. Don’t forget to adjust the control valve to the full off position prior to using Land Manager again.

Alarm 500/510: Master Switch Alarms Land Manager has been turned on with the Master Switch in the AUTO or MANUAL position. Turn the Master Switch to the OFF position. A persistent error has occurred and Land Manager has shut itself down. Turn the Master Switch to the OFF position.

Alarm 110: Channel Not Responding - Channel 1

This error occurs when Land Manager tries to control open or close the control valve and sees no corresponding change in bed speed. Check the hydraulics by manually opening the control valve, then check all electrical connections. Don’t forget to adjust the control valve to the full off position prior to using Land Manager again (Adjustment screw fully counter-clockwise).

System is unstable Do an Automatic Gain test. An Automatic Gain MUST BE DONE before Land Manager can control your system.Check the hydraulics by manually opening the control valve. Don’t forget to adjust the control valve to the full off position prior to using Land Manager again (Adjustment screw fully counter-clockwise). Check for bed compaction.

Application is not accurate Have you done a Spreader Calibration for this product? Is the product excessively wet or are there any other product considerations that may affect its flow characteristics?
